Description:
Students from Shrewsbury High School (Shrewsbury, Massachusetts) are designing, programming, and building a plotter out of LEGO bricks. They use the latest developments in Macintosh-based robotics control through Paradigm’s Pearl Controller. The plotter is controlled via an object-oriented script using Object Logo where what is drawn on the screen is translated into a physical pen-drawing by the plotter. The students answer questions about working with the LEGO setup and discuss the potential and possibilities that the object-oriented environment of Object Logo bring to it. The students also lead workshops in object-oriented LEGO robotics.
